I call this BS.
First, if i recall correctly, this message only appears when you force shutdown or when power is cut, a BSOD leaves a dump file, so after a crash the computer starts normally. (but dont take my word for it, it's been ages since i had a BSOD)
And second, i really, reeeeeeeeeaaally doubt that a bios screen can appear on a ticker (shit, it doesn't even appear on my secondary monitor/TV) I'm pretty sure that you need software for that.

@Acheron's Grief: So you don't think that somebody in the Cowboys office forced a shutdown?
And for your second point... it's not a BIOS screen, it's a Windows screen. Seriously, if you don't know the difference between your BIOS and a Windows pre-boot text mode message, don't pretend you know anything about computers.
I dunno, I feel that would have to be put there. Its not like Windows natively supports scrolling banner LED screens as a main monitor. This would likely be driven my a PC with software on top controlling what shows on the banner. I'd take it as someone pratting around.
I saw the documentary of them building the stadium. the premise behind such a huge screen is to be as big as your TV at home, eliminating the excuse your wallet-weary football fan has by saying "I get a better view at home"
@mfischer579: Sure, why not? Then it'd be like those artsy, slo-mo shots of a drop of milk hitting a tabletop. Except it would be, like, a whole lotta milk.

But that doesn't make it any less lulz-worthy.

Sure doesn't look like anyone is blaming Windows or MS to me.

"This one [the TV sets] however cost more than the entire construction budget of Texas Stadium."
Yikes!

Not sure, then, that this is a sure-fire solution. Why won't the wallet-weary fan now simply say "I get the SAME view at home"?

Well, at least we've got Janet Jackson.
